Winter Carnival was a success

Paxton Recreation would like to thank everyone who attended the Winter Carnival on Saturday January 27. The pond was filled with kids skating and being pulled by sleds. The small ice skating rink was jammed with people as well. Both kids and parents seemed to be having a great time. We had the place packed the entire time.

Paxton Recreation would like to extend our gratitude to all those involved in helping put on this town-wide event and allowing it to be a successful event.

Thanks to the Paxton Fire Department for providing us the lighting on the pond, small skating rink and parking area, as well as providing us with a huge bonfire which kept us warm through the evening, in addition to filling the skating rink over the old pool and helping with anything that needed to be done during the event.

Thanks to the Paxton DPW for clearing off the pond and ice skating rink, sanding all necessary areas, providing supplies to keep the area safe, in addition to being there the night of the event to help with anything that we needed.

Thanks to the Paxton Cadette/Senior Troop for running the concession stand during the event. These girls supplied all the food and staffed the stand during the entire event. Nice job girls. The Girl Scouts did this for community service as well as to earn funds for trips that they are planning.

Thanks to the Paxton Municipal Light Department for restoring power to the old pool area, in addition to providing lighting on the hill. Unfortunately we had no snow, so we were unable to sled down the hill behind the school. We always have next year.

Paxton Recreation looks forward to providing more town-wide events and using our facilities to the best of their abilities.
